unless he meant java applets

Man this is a awsome hack but im getting frustrated.
I CANT edit the dam guest book... ADMIN has No form of control of what users post Sweed is never on.

guys we are all vb users. can at least one of you guys help me out here? how can I get the dam guestbook enabled so I can acutally delte posts?
How can I make it so the ADMIN can delte bad webpages.

and I removed all my "allowed" tags. anyone has a list I can copy? be nice read what I just said and please help out. Please and thank you.

Well he has provided this hack free of charge so we can't expect him to provide support 24/7. Hopefully he'll be back soon but in the meantime we'll have to find workarounds.

The edit/delete guestbook entries theoretically should work, but it's a mysterious bug. When I installed this hack on my 3.0.5 test forum, edit/delete was working, but it won't work on my live 3.0.6 forum :ermm: :disappointed: My workaround, I've restricted who has a guestbook/webpage by adding it as an item in the uShop hack. If the user is a 'bad' member, they'll be banned before earning enough points to purchase the guestbook/webpage. If you do need to edit a guestbook/webpage entry you could always edit the entry in the database (user_guestbook and user_webpage tables) although admitedly that's not an ideal solution. Unfortunately, I don't know enough to figure out what's wrong. :(

The default tags were:

Oh thank you. Thank you.

See my problem is I am getting hate guestbook posts on my members pages and they cant remove them. they can edit them but it goes back to the user. some people have pornish type webpages and I cant remove the photos.

there is... if you think about it. Zero admin control with this guestbook bug. it works sometimes... webpage you had no control from the start on editing...

I know he did it for free but everyone on here does it for free.

He seems like a good man but I guess I am upset from the heat I get from usrs.

I'm just curious, I don't know if this exact question has been brought up yet but

FILE: includes/init.php
AFTER:
$_BITFIELD['usergroup']['genericpermissions'] = array(
BUT before ); just after the last value, insert the following:
'canhaveguestbook' => xxxxxxx,
'canhavewebpage' => xxxxxxx,
'canviewwebpage' => xxxxxxx,
'canviewguestbook' => xxxxxxx,
'canpostguestbook' => xxxxxxx,
CHANGE OUT "xxxxxxx" to the double value of the value just before.

I am just curious, what should I replace the xxxxxxx with for a vBulletin 3.0.6 board? I was at first tempted to just put in the code givin below that

EXAMPLE FOR vB3.0.3: (if you have this version, copy and use below)
'canhaveguestbook' => 16777216,
'canhavewebpage' => 33554432,
'canviewwebpage' => 67108864,
'canviewguestbook' => 134217728,
'canpostguestbook' => 268435456,

but I don't want it causing problems, which I know for a fact most likely willl happen. If someone can just give me a heads up with this, I'm basically done the editing, I just want to make sure I don't mess up at this stage of the game.

Thanks

You have to check the last line before 'canhaveguestbook' => xxxxxxxx, and double the numbers that is written over there

so anyone know why i wouldnt be able to actually see the webpage or guestbook. in the admin cp i set permissions for groups and set the options in bulletin settings and then went to my profile and tested it and nothing

Thanks very much for your help, lol I don't know how I overlooked something so simple such as that. Thanks again


~EDIT~

I installed this hack and at first it was working. I managed to get the webpage feature to work, meaning the webpage was showing up in the users profile. I wanted to enable the Guestbook feature but everytime I tried to set the Webpage and Guestbook options to YES, it would save but reset after wards and randomly select yes and no for different options. After every attempt this is what I've been getting

Can have Guestbook? No
Can have Webpage? No
Can view Guestbook? No
Can view Webpage? No
Can post in Guestbook? No

The odd time the "Can have webpage" option is set to yes but nothing works. I did everything that was said in the installation README File, Phrases/Languages, as well as usergroup settings. I'm still going to play around with it and see if I can find the problem myself, but if anyone has a pointer, that might lead me in the right direction of fixing this, it would be much appreciated. Chances are it's something small and I've overlooked it countless times lol :o

Things were working fine for me...but I've noticed that my permissions keep changing for those who can view/post in the guestbook/webpages?

Any ideas what may be causing this to happen?

Man I have to take my webpage off. I got too many sex pages that I have no dam control over.

that is messed up. this is the best hack here.

later

I am getting this too...assuming it has something to do with the bitfield numbers being so high.

If anyone who knows a lot more about permissions than I do could help, it would be much appreciated.

*edit* AH-HA! It's cos the reputation gets its own bitfield numbers...one moment, I will investigate.

Not exactly.

Because in the later versions of vBulletin, the Reuptation bitfields were moved into there, they need to be taken into account.

If your new numbers (as found by doubling the last one on the bitfields) are the same as any of the reputation ones, it won't work. You need to double the highest number in the entire section, not just at the end of the line before canvhaveguestbook.

Can someone please stop ignoring my posts.
I am asking for someone to look into this hack I know its happing to all users.

A method for ADMIN to control the webpage content like the member who owns the profile can.
A FIX for the guestbook delete since it does not work.

PLEASE

you think this has to do with the delete bug?

Works for me tho.. :p

[high]* ChuanSE has an old version of this hack running[/high]

I can honestly say you are a liar.
There ISNT a method to delte Webpages so how is that working? unless you made a mod.
Did you make a mod? Can you share it?

Look Im not into the games. I just have a site that has quite a few members on it. The admin is upset that he can not delte porn style webpages OR remove posts in the guestbook.

I know you guys can at least try to help. I PM some... ask others even say hey I will pay. I was referred here from vb.com so I am here.

Is there something I am missing here? I need help please.

Calling me a liar isn't really helpfull imo 8]

I'll pretend i didn't saw that :p

There is no mod to delete guestbookpages, you can delete those in the database, use phpmyadmin. Then granting permission to use those webpages to all registered users is like a very unstrategic move... So make a trusted members group and give those permission.

The deletion of guestbookentry works fine for me, but if not for you, go phpmyadmin again...

And if you can't handle the mod, deinstall it ;)

tip for future: TEST BEFORE INSTALL ON PUBLIC BOARD?!?

hook line and sinker. just waiting on the bite ?

Oh... why didnt I think of that... phpmyadmin... oh.... (snaps fingers)
:up: :up: (pretned that is the duble gun shot pose)
So that is how this "hack" works for you?

what a joker.

At first I was like who the ++++ is this cat? Then I went to your page in your signature.... I know who you are now...
nobody.

I noticed the version number is still 3.0.3 have any updates been made to get this working with clean install on vb3.0.6... I'd like to try this but don't want to kill my site :P

Dude,

i'm not discussing the quality of the hack here... That isn't really my responsibility *cough*

I just told you how i work around it.

So take your nasty attitude up your ass and be ++++ed with ignorance from the other members. They all like you a lot, i even love you now... really...
Love to see you banned with your UNconstructive remarks.

go find a beach to play in the sand man

I have this mod installed on my board and working great. If your users are using porn on their webpage you can easily change their usergroups and not give them permission. It is no so difficult I think...

yeah tell your moma I said hi.

That is what you want?
What ever.
You responded generic like the others and I called you out.
Talk to your wife that way. K?
wont run here.

No one ever said it doesnt work.
you dont get it. I can log on to your website. Post in all the guestbooks and they cant be removed.
doesnt have to be porn. It could be a z-index command that is not supported by this hack.

then they cover the entire profile page.
the differnt ideas i can make up is a lot... the whole point is I know... and almost everyone on here knows...
there is a guestbook bug...
there is no admin control of webpages. you have tag control... and on... off... that is about IT.

I have customers that have 20k+ users. they cant sift thru webpages.
They are more concerned about users using the page to advertise. instead of removing the whole page and putting them in a differnt usergroup why not have admin control of the site?

No even better why should the user have more control than the admin????

I had one user ask me to help them with a code on the page. I couldnt.
Why? I dont have access to the page... yet I am the admin.

I am not sure why eveyone on vb seems to be hack masterminds yet dont see where I am coming from on this.

I dont see that as a bug exactly. In my forum I dont want to delete the users guestbooks. If it is necessary I can edit them. And if the user want to remove that entry he can remove the entry. Yes maybe you are right to ask that kind of a feature but then I must advice to get in touch with Swedie. Maybe he can code that feature for you. But for me that is not 100% needed mod. Also I think there is no need to scream or what ever. If you complain a lot why dont you choose to uninstall it ?

T3Media, ChuanSe - cut the name-calling and insults out of this thread please. This is a hack support thread, not a place to have a slanging-match. If it comes to our attention that you carry on with this arguement, action will be taken.

Thanks,

great hack but is there anyway i could customize the guestbook and webpage to the basic css file so it's just looking as the rest of the profile fields....???

Hmm, only Webpage will be shown on my profile.

I select the right settings in admincp, guestbook on, but nothing to see from the guestbook in profiles. :disappointed:

You also have to update your guestbook settings from our profile. If already did check the file edits again.

Yes, i did this too. But nothing ... :disappointed:

Did you check usergroups permissions and set them to can use guestbook ?

Ye, i did it all, but nothing. :tired:

You must missed something. It is working with me and other members also.

Works fine on 3.0.6 and the install is now relatively easy.

If you're still not convinced here's some live examples - on a 3.0.6 forum:

There's only some minor bugs, namely the mysterious 'can't delete guestbook entries' bug which as I understand it, only happens to some forums.

Got all the way down to "important step one".

When I search for the phrase "can_have_guestbook", it says it cannot find it.

what have I done wrong? Please help!!1!!!

Did you remember to run the insert.sql in phpmyadmin?

yeah, I did that and it said it was successful, however that is the first sql query I have ever ran ;).

I did it to the right db, and it said it worked...

oh hell, I did it on the wrong DB.

Heck, I logged into the wrong damn website's cpanel.

I just went back to look at the database and when I logged in I was like OH $#!+....

thanks, I'll do that again :)

okay, I'm going to need a little help here....:)

the query worked fine when I ran it on the wrong database.

when I ran it on the right one, it said somethin phrase or something didn't exist. I "almost" copied it to post it here, but instead, I just clicked "go" to try and do it again.

Then, I got a different error that said guestbook something something already exists...

AM I SCREWED?

Please help!
